Hi everyone, Tom O’Connor here from the LittleBigPlanet team, over at Sony XDev in Liverpool.

If you happened to miss out on the handmade handheld wonder that is LittleBigPlanet PS Vita the first time around, well, you are in for a treat!

LittleBigPlanet PlayStation Vita Marvel Super Hero Edition features the original game plus a load of additional Marvel content. Included are three exciting mini-games, starring some of the most popular Marvel Super Heroes and a wardrobe filled with new costumes you can use when dressing your Sackboy or Sackgirl.

In the original game, you get to journey and interact with LittleBigPlanet like never before using the touch-feely magic of PS Vita. The travelling planet of Carnivalia is a jam-packed playground where an Evil Puppeteer has brought doom and gloom. Can you unravel the mystery and restore this troubled planet to it’s former glory?

When you’ve done that, why not try out the create tools and conjure up your own levels and games, then share them with the rest of the world? If you’re not feeling incredibly creative, well that doesn’t matter as there are thousands of levels and games created by others for you to play.

The Marvel mini-games feature some of the most popular Marvel heroes, Avengers: Ultimate Escape, S.H.I.E.L.D Interceptor and Hero Rush. There are loads of stages to complete and tons of replayability, they really are perfect for bite-sized entertainment on your PS Vita. If that’s not enough…you get 18 Marvel character costumes plus loads of stickers, decorations, effects and objects to craft your own super hero adventures.

The game will be released on 19th November for the bargain price of €19.99. Check it out and we will look out for some awesome new creations online. Who knows, you might even get Team Picked and featured by our Community team!

Agreed with Ryan. It isn’t as if Capcom, Square Enix etc all decided to make indie games instead of their usual “AAA” stuff. They’re entirely independent of one another. If you sincerely don’t like indie stuff, ignore it. There’s no need to disparage small development teams who do what they can with what they have.

Wow, thanks Sony! PS3 and PS4 get a brand new LBP game, but Vita? Here’s a port of some phone shovelware and a re-release of pre-existing content. Yes, for those unaware, this is just LBP Vita from 2012 with the Marvel DLC that was released like a year ago. This is not a new game.

Also, the box looks like a bootleg with that struggle font. Why isn’t it using the Marvel logo?

Nice move, Sony! I think the PS Vita is essentially being re-launched, with all those bundles (Vita & FIFA 15) and offers (Adventure pack, including Uncharted, Gravity Rush and more, along with an 8GB memory card) as of late. The new, discounted edition of LBP Vita will truly help, but I already own the original and I am not interested in any blood-sucking costume DLC, or a couple new levels.

I hope we see more AAA games from Sony’s 1st party studios in the future. Where is Gravity Rush 2?

There are 30 Marvel costumes in the Store but only 18 of them were included in this re-release.. what’s the point in doing it if it’s not going to be the whole thing? :/ I’d have loved to have all the Marvel stuff in one pack.

Hi Tom O’Connor, i have a questions i hope you can answer. Will this version include all the bug fix patches and the costumes on the card with the game (including the costume data, but need to be activate with purchase). so we can just insert card, install the game without downloading gigabytes of patches before gameplay?…

Or is this version just the vanilla game where you need to download all the patches and comes with a dlc voucher…

I need some answer because if i am gonna buy this new version i need to know….

I’d love a new lbp vita game as much as everyone else, but I’m still happy with a re-launch if it means they continue to add new dlc/costumes that appear in lbp3, ideally via cross-buy like they do with lbp2.Also, I think the much rumoured port of lbp karting would be a great boost for the vita if It proved to to be true. Would be a perfect fit for handheld gaming.
